Only a good copy but MME. BEGUE'S RECIPES remains a classic New Orleans cookbook. First published by Harmanson in 1937, this third edition was issued circa 1938-1939 (the cookbook's successive fourth printing was published in late 1939/early 1940). Emigrating from Germany to New Orleans in 1853 to join her brother who was employed as a butcher in the city's French Market, Elizabeth Kettenring married Louis Dutreuil and in 1863 they opened Dutrey's Coffee House at the corner of Decatur and Madison Streets in the Vieux Carre. With their primary clientele being French Market early morning shift workers, Madame Begue started serving a 11 a.m. multi-course second breakfast which quickly earned the moniker "brunch," a term which was soon dispersed to the world via the innumerable visitors to the port city during the 1884 Cotton Exposition and tourist promotion by the Southern Pacific Railroad. After Dutreuil died in 1875 Kettenring married bartender Hippolyte Begue and, in 1880, the coffeehouse/eatery changed its name to Begue's operating past Elizabeth's 1906 death to approximately 1914 when competitor Tujague's Restaurant purchased the building (429 Decatur Street) and where that New Orleans institution still remains in business today.
